I found chicken sausage at meijer, they have different flavors and are full of protein. My favorite is spinach and mozzarella, 110 calories and 18 grams of protein. I highly recommend them :-) hw--295<br />sw--278<br />dos-- 12/12/12<br />cw-- 229

I tried sleeping with my cpap one time after surgery and couldn't......haven't used it since and I am 13 wks post op :-) hw--295<br />sw--278<br />dos-- 12/12/12<br />cw-- 229

I drank a lot right from surgery. I drank from the 1 oz cups but every couple of minutes, I was and am always thirsty. I am a little over 12 wks out, I have never been dehydrated and I am down 70 pounds....I still don't gulp but I SIP all day long :-)

You look amazing!! How far out are you?? I can only dream of losing 150, but seeing you, I know its possible. I am 12 weeks out today and down 70 pounds. WTG!!!

I just asked my nutritionist this question. I googled how many we should get when trying to lose weight and was told 20, I found that impossible. My nutritionist told me 90 a day...she said about 15 carbs per meal or snack..I know I don't get to 90 but I don't track them. Hope this helps :-)

Starting weight..... 295 Surgery weight..... 278 on 12/12/12 Today.......231 Only 2.2 pounds this week but I will take it. Anything lost is a victory!!

You look gorgeous....way 2 go!!

I had surgery Dec 12th :-)

I gained 12 pounds at my first post op appointment, I wanted to cry. I'm 11 weeks out now and have lost 61 pounds, everyone was right, it was fluids :-)

You can personalize mfp to what you are supposed to be getting as far as calories and protein. I use it all day everyday and it helps me tremendously..... :-)

Was worried about my weigh in today since I still have bronchitis and haven't been to the gym in 3 wks but.......I lost 4 pounds, yay!! I'm so happy......61 pounds in 11 weeks, I will take it :-) have a good day everyone!!

Hw.....295 Sw......287 Cw......238 Total lost.....57 pounds.....woohoo!! Surgery date 12/12/12 I am happy to say that I lost 3.8 pounds this week. I was really worried, I have been fighting bronchitis for 2 wks and haven't been able to go to the gym so I was worried about my weigh in this week. I will take 3.8 pounds :-)

I was delayed almost a week my first cycle after surgery but then 9 days early this month, what The heck lol.....

I am so dissapointed to read this thread. We are all supposed to be here to support each other and if someone chooses to weigh 5 times a day or not at all doesn't mean they " were not ready" for this. Noone is perfect and noone is a professional at this wls. Everyone handles things differently and struggles differently.......this is not how we should be supporting each other :-(

I think u are all doing amazing....it is a huge step we all took and everyone will fall off the wagon one time or another. Kbuys, I hope I can lose 100 pounds, that is awesome. I am 8 weeks out and down 55 pounds. I stopped weighing every day and only weigh once a week now.....

I had mine in dearborn at oakwood....I am 8 wks out. How are you two doing??

At my first week post op appointment, I gained 12 pounds from all the fluids. I wanted to cry lol......I'm 8 weeks now and have lost 50 pounds at my last week weigh in. I weigh in again tomorrow......so it is completely normal. Soon, the weight will fall off :-)

Simplysammi......we are surgery twins lol. I had mine 12-12-12 and I am down 50 pounds as well....Wtg!!

Does anyone else feel like they are eating all day long?? I stopped losing weight and my nutrisionist told me to up my calories to 800....I literally eat about 7 times a day. I feel like I'm over eating. Although everything is very healthy, low calories, sugar free and full of protein, can I still stretch my pouch?? I'm so worried......

Had my rny 12-12-12.....down 49 pounds. It's been a struggle, I've been stalled for about 3 wks now but happy with the progress so far :-)
